Dr. Stevens Pillow

My name is Steven John Widecrantz. I am a Urologist at Sealand University Hospital in Roskilde Denmark. For 16 years I have been treating Kidney Cancer Patients, but in recent years I have also been in charge of postoperative complications and seriously ill patients in my department and lately also in the treatment of Corona-patients. In this capacity, I have encountered patients so weakened by months of inactivity in bed, that former healthy patients couldn’t stand on their own feet or even sit up by means of their own. They had an immense loss of muscle-mass and the malnutrition even affected their brain function. Training and mobilizing these patients is difficult and time consuming. To overcome some of these obstacles I invented the “Dr. Stevens Pillow”-system. It is made up of a system of pillows with different resistance, carefully selected in collaboration with experienced physiotherapists to meet the requirements at the different stages of the patients recovery. The pillow is placed in the foot end of the patients bed and the patient, the staff and the patients family are instructed in different exercises by the physiotherapist. The pillow can then be placed in the bed by the patient, the staff or by the family whenever the patient feels like training or when encouraged to do so, supplementing the daily training by the physiotherapist. The pillows will, with the right instruction, strengthen the patients foot-, calf- and thigh-muscles, and it will strengthen the buttocks, the stomach-muscles and the back-muscles. Secondary to strengthening the muscles, the training improves blood circulation thereby improving muscle-nutrition, wound-healing and the heart. Training also aids in prevention of blood-clots. Lung function is improved, lung problems prevented, and more oxygen provided to the bloodstream. Bedsores will also be prevented or healing improved. The patients appetite is improved providing building materials for muscles and healing, and nausea is prevented. Psychologically the patient is strengthened by being activated opposed to lying inactive in bed all day. The possibility to influence their own recovery will motivate the patients to train more. When the patient is exhausted, the pillow is just removed, and the patient can rest. The pillows are made of durable materials that can withstand daily use, and the fabric is hospital standard and easy to wash and disinfect for use for the next patient. No handles are added to ensure easy and safe cleaning. The weight makes them easy to transport. The pillows come in four different colors: Green for the weakest patients. Blue for patients that can sit, but not stand. Red for patients that can stand with the help of a roller. Black for patients that are able to walk a few steps, but still need to build strength. The Black pillow can even be used at home, where it can also be used as a step-machine, a training bench and much more. The size make it easy to store in a wardrobe. The “Dr. Stevens Pillow”-system is so simple to use, inexpensive and versatile, that it can be used in almost any setting: Hospitals around the world, Refugee-camps, Retirement-homes, Hospices etc.

Source

Source is a talent intelligence platform that helps companies move quicker, reduce hiring costs, and acquire top technical talent. Sourcing talent faces three major problems, which we will solve: Problem #1: Every company we worked for had difficulty finding the right software developers. With the plethora of technical skills (1,000+) on the market and uncertainty in seniority, finding the missing piece to achieving the dream team was quite cumbersome. Problem #2: The time to source candidates for one role is between 13 and 20 hours a week. In other words, one-third to a half of a week's work. This leads to inefficiency, high costs, and worst of all incredibly-high burnout rates in the recruiting industry. Problem #3: The internal cost-per-hire is roughly around $4,700, and outsourced costs can reach sums as high as $50,000. Again, per hire. Let that sink in... How do we do it: By giving talent acquisition professionals a powerful talent search engine, they are able to perform smarter, cheaper, and faster than ever before. Instead of being powered by LinkedIn or Google, Sourcemoon is powered by data found on GitHub—the most popular platform among software developers. We use GitHub API, scraping, and parsing algorithms to collect and make sense of data from GitHub (other platforms coming in the future). The market is large and growing: The global talent acquisition & staffing market is valued at $141B, growing 5% YoY, and the global recruitment software market is valued at $8B.
